IJCAI 2011 - IJCAI-11 Integrated and Embedded AI (IEAI) Track:

IJCAI-11 Integrated and Embedded AI (IEAI) Track: Call for Papers
Barcelona, Spain, July 2011

To solve complex real-world problems, artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly integrated and pervasive. These systems often use more than one AI technique in a tight integration (e.g., robotic systems), or they offer important services with AI embedded as a key component within a larger software or hardware system (e.g., search engines and smart phones). In these systems, AI plays a key role in the systems' ability to perceive, reason, learn, communicate and act intelligently in the real world.

The IEAI track welcomes two types of articles:

* articles that emphasize the integration of more than one technique in various AI subareas, and

* those that present advances in using AI as an embedded service or component in other areas of computer science or natural science, business and engineering.

Important dates:

* Abstract submission: Jan 19, 2011 (11:59PM, UTC-12)

* Paper submission: Jan 24, 2011 (11:59PM, UTC-12)

* Author feedback: Feb 28-Mar 3, 2011 (11:59PM, UTC-12).

* Notification of acceptance/rejection: Mar 31, 2011

* Camera-ready copy due: Apr 15, 211

* IEAI sessions: Jul 19-22, 2011

Preference is given to submissions that explore, model and evaluate system integration and embedding issues. In addition to the main conference requirements such as novelty and depth, important questions to answer for this track include:

* What is the functionality of the overall system and of the AI subsystems being considered?

* Why are the AI subsystems important in the functionality of the overall systems?

* How much improvement is gained in the overall system's performance with the inclusion of AI?

* How do the AI subsystems interact among themselves and with the overall systems?

The IEAI topics include, but are not limited to:

* AI in bioinformatics and biomedical systems

* AI in computational sustainability systems

* AI in information retrieval, Web search and multimedia systems

* AI in smart phones and sensor based applications

* AI in social media and social networking systems
